Our Saddlebreds
Not only do we grow what may be some of the tastiest blueberries in all the land, For 40 years we also raised, trained, showed and sold American Saddlebred horses. This is where the Canter in Canter-Berry Farms is derived from. At the present time we own only 1 American Saddlebred, registered as Pickin’ the Blues but known as Quincy! We showed primarily in the Northwest at Northwest Saddlebred Association (NWSA) Silver Circuit rated shows.
The American Saddlebred Horse Association (www.asha.net) is the oldest horse registry in the United States, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 1991. Saddlebreds are most often thought of as pure show horses, the "Peacocks" of the showring. The image of a Fine Harness horse pulling a four wheel buggy, an elegant three gaited horse trotting down the rail with an attitude or the silhouette of a bold Five Gaited horse doing a slow gait in form, will make you remember The American Saddlebred. They are very capable however of doing many and versatile things. You will find Saddlebreds being great trail horses, doing dressage work, jumping fences, competing in endurance rides and even working cows. Wherever you find them, their owners will be enjoying them!
